An opera singer has been left to claim for personal injury after an accident which occurred whilst he was performing prevented him from carrying out his act.

Singer David Montague- Rendall was appearing in a performance of Aita at the Copenhagen Opera House when the accident happened in April 2005.

The professional opera singer was performing in an important scene of the show when a piece of the set he was being elevated on crumbled to the floor leaving him to fall for fifteen feet at a fast pace.

Mr Montague- Rendall sustained a shattered left hip and badly damaged shoulder as a result of the faulty set. Luckily immediately after the fall he also managed to roll out of the way of more of the set which would have crushed him if he had remained in the same position.

The sixty-one year old was taken straight to hospital where he received treatment for his injuries and was able to recover from the shock. He also had to undergo several joint replacement operations. He felt that he could no longer perform to his old standard after the fall and therefore fif not work for two years whilst he was healing.

He is now seeking compensation of around 250,000 from the Danish Ministry of Culture to cover the loss of earnings he has suffered from being unable to work after the fall.

Sion Jenkins the man formerly charged of the brutal murder of Billie- Jo Jenkins has this week been denied compensation for the time he spent imprisoned for the crime he was cleared of. Mr Jenkins was imprisoned for six years after being convicted of brutally murdering Billie- Jo by battering her to death with a hooked metal pole in February 1997.

The wife of Mr Jenkins has now described how it is ‘virtually impossible,’ to prove her husband is innocent and that he had no part in the brutal murder of his then foster daughter. Tina Jenkins’ comments came after Sion Jenkins was refused his claim for compensation this week.

The amount of compensation he reportedly requested was 500,000 but this has been rejected by Mrs Jenkins who claimed her husband is only interested in finding the person truly responsible for the murder now.

The claim had been rejected by the Ministry of Justice because applicants are required to prove that they are, ‘clearly innocent,’ for them to be able to receive compensation.

Mr Jenkins has maintained his innocence all the way through the trail and insisted that Billie Jo had been killed by an intruder when he was out at a diy store. Three trials later and two separate appeals later his conviction was overturned and he was freed in 2006.

According to Mrs Jenkins the, ‘goal posts,’ regarding the compensation has been moved and her husband is instead pursuing a search for the real killer now.

“They know [proving innocence] can’t be done; you can never prove innocence. It used to be that you were innocent until proven guilty.”

When he was asked whether or not he thought receiving the compensation would clear his name in the general public’s opinion. He insisted that he thought it would carry no weight.

The submitting of the compensation claim by Mr Jenkins has been heavily criticised by Billie Jo’s biological father’s widow.

A spokesman for Sussex Police force yesterday said: “The murder of Billie-Jo Jenkins in 1997 remains an unresolved case and is therefore subject to review in the event of any new and compelling evidence coming to light.

“We will continue actively to pursue any viable lines of inquiry put to us, but none have emerged.

Energy supplier BP has now emptied nearly two gallons of Corexit into the infected area of sea in order to attempt to disperse the oil that was released in the rig explosion earlier this year. The chemical experiment has been criticised by scientists due to the lack of studies into the long term effects of it and the lack of knowledge on the effects it has on humans and animals.

The interest surrounding from this could create a whole new wave of claims against BP who are already facing more than 300 claims for various breaches surrounding the original oil spill.

The lawsuit has been filed in Alabama and is against both BP and the maker of the chemical Nalco. People are even insisting that the chemical id four times more toxic than crude oil.

The compensation being pursued is due to cover the negligence committed, medical fees incurred and any trespass fees required. The people claiming have now argued that the chemical was put into the sea in order to cover up the public reaction and financial burden of the financial implications.

Worryingly scientists have now confirmed that the substance is likely to have entered the food chain after conducting tests on crabs. Little scientific knowledge is available on the chemical when it is used to this scale.

A safety guidance sheet made by defendant Nalco has concluded that Corexit has a low human hazard risk but also suggests that no toxicity studies have been carried out on the substance. The document also suggests that ingestion may result in nausea and vomiting.

The chemical failed to pass safety checks conducted in the UK and was also banned from being used on oil spills in 1998.

The case currently being filed against BP is being conducted by the same firm who handled the Alaskan oil spill which had a worth of $2.5 billion when it was settled.
